The Andara Resort & Villas boasts an incredible elevated position on the upscale west side of Phuket island, above beautiful Kamala Beach, known for its great beaches, restaurants and boutiques.

The lobby, with its soaring ceilings, finds design inspiration from local culture and tradition, with Thai artworks and warm wooden tones exuding a distinguished yet welcoming atmosphere.

Each of Andara’s lavishly furnished one- to four-bedroom suites and ultra luxurious three- to six-bedroom villas are designed in harmony with their natural surroundings, and are positioned to offer stunning views over the Andaman Sea. Suites come with spacious living and dining areas, with seating for eight.

The resort’s Silk Restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining, serving superb Thai and international cuisine

in a pretty poolside setting. Guests can enjoy a relaxing massage and various treatments at the Andara Spa. The opulent double suites, designed in traditional Thai style, feature oversized black granite baths – perfect for romantic treatments. A fitness centre offers state of the art equipment, a choice of group fitness classes and tennis courts.

Children are also well taken care of with an excellent kids’ club and plenty of child-friendly activities.

Andara’s main swimming pool is nothing short of spectacular but, if you’d rather swim in the sea, the hotel’s shuttle can take you to Kamala Beach where the staff will set you up with mats, towels and water and, if you desire, can pack you a picnic basket on request. For the ultimate in luxury, Andara’s plush 35-metre motor yacht ‘Celebrity’ can be charted for a day trip or an overnight adventure.
